Professional profile
About Dr. Sullivan
Rebecca Sullivan, MD, built her early career in broad aesthetic practice before narrowing her focus to surface work after difficult previous results and in complex revision. She joined AREOLA to develop a service in which patients could discuss medical history and visual goals without being moved between unrelated departments.
Dr. Sullivan’s practice is divided between Boston and New York. She often works with patients whose replacement question arrives late in a longer course of care and coordinates directly with established clinicians when timing, prior treatment or one-sided planning requires a shared view.
